Passages to India is a series which presents India on its own terms and in its own words in a series of 10 one-hour radio documentaries.

India is a country of such endless diversity and paradoxes that generalisations are impossible. "Passages to India"  presents India on its own terms and in its own words in a series of 10 one hour radio documentaries which explore ten "passages" or keys to understanding modern India. 10 curriculum booklets are also available as part of an integrated audio/print curriculum on India for Grades 9-12 and for College use.

Interviews and other recorded materials were gathered throughout the country. The programs interweave readings of poems and short stories from classical and contemporary Indian culture-into the documentary fabric.
